Chromosome-level genome assembly and annotation of the emblematic silver-lipped pearl oyster Pinctada maxima Jameson 1901.
Article in Scientific data, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The silver-lipped pearl oyster, Pinctada maxima, is an iconic bivalve farmed in tropical Australia and South-east Asia to produce high valued South Sea pearls. Here, we present a high-quality, chromosome-level reference genome for P. maxima. The final genome assembly has a total size of 1.27 Gb, with a scaffold N50 length of 65.69 Mb. Using high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) technology, we have anchored 80.99% of the assembly to 14 chromosomes. The BUSCO analysis revealed a high level of accuracy and completeness, identifying 87.9% (n = 4,658) of Mollusca core genes, which exceeds the average completeness of 79.2% reported for other mollusc genomes sequenced and annotated to date. The assembly includes 62.79% repeat elements (809 Mb), and gene annotation predicted 25,752 protein-coding genes. This genomic resource offers a powerful tool for unraveling the molecular mechanisms underlying pearl formation and facilitating continued research into the evolutionary biology of pearl oysters worldwide.
